Grand National 2018: Aintree races sees visitors enjoying plenty of booze on first day

The stricter rules meant that customers could only purchase a maximum of four alcoholic drinks per transaction at the bar last year.

Speaking at the time, Managing Director of Aintree Racecourse John Baker, said: "The Randox Health Grand National is an opportunity to enjoy the best of jump racing in a fantastic sporting arena with a unique atmosphere.

"We wish for everyone to have an excellent customer experience and as part of this we are continuing to be proactive with our policies towards responsible drinking.

"Trained service staff will continue to refuse to serve alcohol to anyone at their discretion and entry will be refused to anyone intoxicated and alcohol prohibited from being brought into the enclosures.”

This year, the site simply states that “Aintree Racecourse operates a responsible drinking policy and all staff are trained to the highest standards” but does not comment on alcohol limits.
